La Vie - Vancouver Film School (VFS)

[FerOlv]

It's a shame that the BEAUTIFUL music lasts only 2 minutes :'(

[micky1204ify]

You can have still dreams when you are a old man and you can show these all people in the public ♥

That´s true, i love these imagine

(-,

[MsAly333]

[ZocoEntertainment]

I am proud to say I graduated from the Film Production program at Vancouver Film School. A group of graduates from the Writing program, EBM, and film production created a production group. Together, we shot a short film starring Smallville's Child Lex Luthor star, Connor Stanhope entitled "Lemons & Lemonade" Check out my channel to check out the film, which was an Official Selection of Festival de Cannes Short Film Corner 2011. Thanks!

[mmesheal]

He draw his dream on the street till it become true , believe in your dream

[w13rdguy]

Thumbs up for three fingers!

[FindingDoris]

[kolipoki7]

FOR EVERYTHING THAT IS BEAUTIFUL IN THIS WORLD, FINISH THE GOD DAMNED SONG.

[grzyweczka]

Vancouver Film School is a school the best at what you think. If I had money on it, long I would teach there.

Great school, great animation. Amazing.

[Shisafire]

Now that's so beautiful.

[PhilJonesIII]

Brilliant. Is the resemblance to the older Victor Borge coincidental?

[kyaraborg]

FANTASTIC______ THIS MOVIE IS SO GREATFULL AND THE PIANO?S MUSIC IS WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!

[LoveHimJohnny]

@VancouverFilmSchool please, can you tell me the name of this wonderful song? I love it but I don´t know the name... It´s a great little movie, awesome!!

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@LoveHimJohnny The song was composed specifically for this video by a friend of the animator. You can read more about the inspiration behind it in the blog post linked in the video description. Thanks!

[mrmhm291299]

Excelentes trabajos los de la VFS, este en particular de una gran belleza logrado en un par de minutos, no se requiere más cuando hay sensibilidad y arte de por medio.

[menotspeakenglish]

sorry to say it but we can't read who he is thanking or his contact info

[VancouverFilmSchool]

@menotspeakenglish In the credits Daniel is thanking his faculty and mentors, as well as his classmates and family. You can find his contact info on his website at danielbohrer(dot)com. Thanks!

[adamantt666]

this is really briliant

[lalouve89]

EMI? ou NDE?

[LittleMissDemonLover]

i wish i had the piano music for it!, this was so beautiful.

[9innail]

wow. that was purely amazing

[emo1427]

wow das lied ist echt schön weis keiner wie das lied heiß ??

würde das so gerne haben =(

[tely0tubys]

what piano song s this?

amazing animation = )

[ThaTyger]

@tely0tubys " I sent the material to my friend Gerson, back in Brazil, who is a very talented musician and sound designer. He composed the piece in the film. " from the official blog. So it was composed for this short.

[Fizzfuz12]

This freakin video is so sad..

[tarjdy23]

like it.... who composed the music?

[Craigypoo1000]

haha me to best!!

[ImTosS1]

great work!! but i have one question, whats song name?

[skootfairy]

obciously this animator sucks, the piano player only had a thumb and three fingers instead of four. back to the drawing board!

[omenofwonders]

@skootfairy go back to elementary school and learn that ''obciously'' dont write as that . the correct word is obviously

[skootfairy]

@omenofwonders get a sense of humour. it was a joke, because this animation is really well done and moving. I was actually making fun of haters like you.

By the the way, you didn't put any capitals at the beginning of your sentences. Eat crow.

[sammipink]

love these films by v s films

[maryausbrasa]

beautifullllllllllllllllllllll­lllllllllllllll

[Sokkie47]

hey awesome video, he has a funny face ^^ well done, 5 stars! ^^

[mac13able]

And it's sucha beautiful song

[mac13able]

This is beautiful. I bet you it would be even more beautiful for people who have lots of passion for the piano

[tweet540]

HAHAHAHAHA LOL HIS FACE!

[MeatballODoom]

I got all teary-eyed watching this.

Amazing.

[boszi777]

So sad, but a giant creative. Wonderful!

Thank's!!! 5***** :-)

[moni5sayshi]

wats the music that hes playing called?

[LF112]

Hey! The song is called la vie :-). But i don't find the sheets :(

[snowyg357]

This has been my favorite video for some time. It's gets me thinking again and makes me feel a bit alive again thanks for making it. I'd really love it if you could make the sheet music available. I can't learn by ear, but would love to be able to play this.

[quizthese]

beautiful

[DJSense11]

i really enjoyed that!

[geto1985]

i want the sheets:(

[GMMGproductions]

Awsome!!! I love it!!! The song is also amazing!!!

[d4riel]

xcelentttttt

[LoraBrowne]

amazing i loved it

[ravespear1]

brilliant

[matrixfreak444]

captured the essence of music

[ark1709]

y is this one star...???

[AcoustikWonderz21]

I love the piano music. So beautiful and relaxing. I wish it could of kept going!!!

[TheAngelgirl7]

@AcoustikWonderz21 Actually I believe that is the message of the film....

Life is can be so beautiful but at the same time it is too short....

[5random1]

@TheAngelgirl7

Life's beautiful and fulfilling moments can be short and far between.

Savor them. Commit them to a place in the heart and mind where they may be summoned and enjoyed, again and again.

Life is never "too short." Life offers no excuses. Not even time.

[Gottesanbeterin22]

@5random1

Wise words you said. Wow.

[bubblesRshiny]

I love it...So beutifaaaaaal

[noseytricks]

incredible!

[deadrabbit30]

this is beautiful.

[Baumkaenguru]

yes becous on the left hand there are only apetios with 3 notes and on the right hand is a molodie. there are no cords. so he doesn´t need more the 3 finges at the same time.

[lilaznshroom]

whoa...the man only has 4 fingers on each hand...can that song just be played with 4 fingers on each hand?

[mpreve]

Amazing.....

[doveriver]

great job..amazing.. it was very touching...

[DungeonMaster200]

This was a very well done piece FUNNzilla said it very well

[FUNNzilla]

An old man's dearest dream: notice how in the beginning his hands do not match the music, yet in the vision they do perfectly. I absolutely love 1:24 to 1:32, it radiates with intensity. I also like how the author had the kindness not to show him back on the street after such an ecstatic instant, would have ruined the beauty of the moment.

[kkkasha01]

i dont get it!

[mursalat92]

pretty sad,

damn this vacouver film school films have been entertaining me for the past one hour :D

[nachtwandlermenz]

me too  XD

[LOSTKNAPP]

@mursalat92 me too

[skellingas7]

need some ending :)

[xlpiano]

wonderfull, a bit short ? watch the temporal piano song (jsolco) it is made with no program at all.

[trikpa]

briliant. Final scene, where he's playing in grass is brutal :)

Be well

[animefreaklover93]

awesome

[HAWKNUTS4]

reminds me of "the piano".

[blootoaster]

truly amazing!!

[juicybc]

WHO WROTE THE PIANO PIECE?

[NishPNA]

So relaxing. I wish i could play something like that. Lol. =P

Anyways, 5/5.

- NishPNA

[Mishutka28]

Aw, I wish there was more!

[chikoand1]

nice video!

someone know the song??

i really love it

[hellstar1221]

O: The credits said original music? I wouldn't know, I'm pretty dumb.

[0610hadi]

i really LOVE the song!!!

what is the song?

[ailgavaz]

5/5 excellent video !!

[CookieFridays]

fantastic

[m4dg1rl]

make me wanna play piano...

[Tashajung]

Beautiful! 5 stars! Seriously! Also whats the song called?

[DrLeavingsoon]

bravo

[gearsmate]

great animation, great music...

but what does it mean?

[drghouty]

it means, there is always hope around. The old man could not find anything to please him in this world expect music, That was his number one hope and why because he could not find the right people to talk to and express his feeling, but music was always there from him

IT IS HOPE MY FRIEND

[gearsmate]

makes sens...

but i don't think it's talking about hope...

expression seems to be a very important point in that video. i'll have a good reflection one that one!

[phill654321]

it's talking about life the title "la vie" mean the life

[gearsmate]

I know, i'm french. :)

[yourmurderer1]

that really was amazing,

love it how you just played the street sounds in the end instead of so explicitly showing that he was still on the street and was imagining.

awesome job!

[fredandnat]

i always asked myself why you often see animated characters with only FOUR fingers?!!! lol

never got it, but i like this video:)

[M0HMD]

Bravo

Really wonderful

You did it perfect

Keep it up

5/5

Thanx

[FuckFascismNoNazis]

I love this videos!

Does anybody know what the name od this wonderful, awesome song is?

[doommic]

[Uknowmeobviousely]

This confirms my belief that the animators at VFS are the better storytellers.

[tobeoxfordgrad]

it was origional meaning it was made just for the clip, i don't think you will find it anywhere

[ISBAX]

it's good, but "The Piano" is way better, recommend it

[DarDesign]

wonderful video. Nice sound, but i can't find anythyng about Gerson Rios Leme (in english of course).... :)

[marcelo7300]

Beautiful and touching! It's a pity it's so short. Great work!

[damonster256]

awsome video i love the last part where he is like in the void with the grass swaying to the side and every thing else is dark and there is a little hint of burgandy clouds. it just makes me wish i was there. and also wat is the name of the song plz i cant find it any where !!

[Reivajss]

Emocionante... genial!

Gran trabajo

[jtoribioa]

Cheers!

[nadchkid]

Surrealism at its best.

[Leonzonid]

what a beautiful song,.. like musician i gotta say this video represent a lot for us.. it's just such a great song and animation.

[dreamerhoy]

I love how you created emotions here. Very moving.

[loaf92]

that was pretty cool, i have to admit

[Ena520z]

It's too short. I wish to listen to the music a lot longer, it's such a beautiful piece.

[Pepperminty23]

I like the retrospective aspects of this film. The detail of the man's hands is amazing.

[tobeoxfordgrad]

That is probably the most inspiring thing i've ever seen

[pixixonga]

Cada vez que lo veo me emociono es sencillamente genial.

[paars22]

waauw

[514films]

AMAZING Music!

[princessnoire]

that's probably the best music i've ever heard

[Tharoxxx]

Ok!... Buenisima animacion, Buenisimo guion, pero Gerson Rios se lucio con el piano!... and learn some spanish earth folk!

[phoinx3D]

Beautiful. I was expecting an ending though...

[technolholic]

I agree especially with the long black screen and street sounds. I'm just glad there wasn't the ending I was picturing were you go back to see that the old man had passed away.

[ZBelua]

So sad. Yet so beautiful...

[defizt]

thats art

[rmc4ever]

beautifull... just unique

[sssjs]

this video is just so awsome..... probably the best video i've seen.

[chimpiki]

The best thing I've seen posted by the Vancouver Film School.

[CHIBBANG]

This video is so amazing. It's like it entices me. I really love it. I'm a high schooler form Texas and I saw this and it was amazing.

[Hadek88]

Impresionante, me ha encantado. Alguien sabe cual es el nombre de la canción?

[TisshaJulia]

me gusto bastante

[nealdlucas]

excellent.

well done music and animation.

[JasperPhoenix]

I enjoyed the man's trip down memory lane. It clearly meant something to him and the music was beautiful.

[lilapop]

I really love the video! It´s beautiful!!!

[lottetje88]

This is really one of the best ones over here. It's very short, but still able to move you.

[mdskllz3b]

seriously a very strong story. its simple but i was impressed. i was watching other short feels from Vancouver film school. i wasn't really impressed so yea. keep up the strong concepts.

[DoudouSteve]

can you explain? I don't get the point/story of the video ;S

[kurosaki1992]

there is no story...

its just a lil video

[erickufv]

why do you think he chose an old man to play the animation?

why do you think the old man drew a piano in the ground?

why do you think he is in front of a store of musical instruments?

and finally ... why do you think he closed the eyes to play the imaginary piano? it is a simple history, I agree, but has a meaning...

[ggakk]

Why do you think your asking so many questions?

Again, beutiful.

[erickufv]

to help the people that didn't see meaning in the video...

[ggakk]

Um, wow. Its obvious he dies at the end.

[erickufv]

first he plays in a concert then in a wild landscape (that could be the heaven in your interpretation)...but in the end (subtle) the sound of the streets comes again

[erickufv]

but the title gives that the clue (la vie)...you are right it is obvious...

[FlipstaGIB]

Gd one!

[gijis02]

Oh wow... Cool music, and awesome visuals! I'd like a more resolved ending, but I like it!

[cle7]

his only got 4 fingers amazing pianist lol

[dkonu2b]

Excellent

[EscapingStasis]

I'm in awe. I absolutely love this idea, and I couldn't ever imagine a better execution. Congratulations, and I hope to see your name in the future!

[HawaiiSurf10]

my favorite

[bitesizemunchy]

Now that was a good idea! Great job on the animation!!!

[BETOROHE]

Desde el Primer cuadro me gusto!! buen trabajo! Y buen arreglo musical !:D

[winkinsmily]

[MIKIMATRIX]
